Record LA Heat Wave: Downtown Hits 100°F for Fourth Straight Day, Longest October Streak on Record
Downtown hit 102°F Monday — the fourth straight day above 100°F, the longest October streak on record for Los Angeles, tying the all-time mark for any month.
Why it matters
Downtown Los Angeles has now logged four straight days above 100°F — the longest October streak of triple-digit heat in the city's history, tying the longest such streak in any month. The Extreme Heat Warning runs through 8 p.m. Thursday, with valley and coastal highs of 90s–105°F running 15–27°F above normal.
Full report
Downtown LA reached 102°F (about 39°C) on Monday (October 5), its fourth consecutive day above 100°F, according to National Weather Service data — the longest October streak on record for the city and tied for the longest streak in any month of the year.
Multiple daily records had already fallen: downtown hit 103°F on October 2 (previous record 101°F in 1995); Hollywood Burbank Airport reached 101°F on October 4 (previous record 100°F in 1964); LAX also hit 102°F.
The NWS Extreme Heat Warning covers coastal and valley areas of Los Angeles and Ventura counties plus coastal and inland Orange County until 8 p.m. Thursday, October 8 (PDT). Cooling begins Friday as the high-pressure system weakens, with notably cooler weather Saturday and possible showers Sunday from Hurricane Rachel's moisture.
County health officials urged residents to avoid prolonged sun exposure, stay hydrated and check on elderly neighbors. California's grid operator (Cal-ISO) issued restricted maintenance operations for Monday and Tuesday, 10 a.m.–10 p.m., urging electricity conservation. Hot, dry conditions have also raised fire risk: a roughly 1,000-acre wildfire burned in Angeles National Forest near Santa Clarita over the weekend.
